"German President Horst Koehler signed a legislation to allow the Criminal Investigation Office (BKA) to start online preventive espionage, a measure criticized by the opposition and the German press media."
The article continues: "This controversial law started in force last Thursday, when it was agreed that even in urgent cases, espionage on the Internet can only be authorized by a judicial decision. Only the deputies, religious leaders and defense lawyers are exempted, and other categories like doctors, journalists and lawyers in general are under analysis to be exempted." --clip-- More at http://www.plenglish.com/article.asp?ID={120735F0-CC1D-4D6C-9867-CDD60D039C78})&language=EN German language AFP coverage: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gw_V-QQ3VWSNf-GM-0t6X9dnXi4w Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
